Copart Walk Around 3-19-2020

[@jrsgarage7211]

Hey Randy! Love the walk around!! Yes get the BMW 750 Li

[@knightride9635]

Yeah buy it to get a Christmas tree on your driveway

[@josephmaxwell5033]

JR'S Garage : the 750LI looks like a steal at $1,800

[@MRCRAZYPANDA]

That 750 is a risk bc most of those lights are on bc of 1 problem there isn’t multiple, the stability control light turns off once you drive it, but always is on after the battery is disconnected. The engine ideal is most likely a cylinder misfire you probably only need to change the coil, and everything else on that car is good

[@Mark-yi4be]

He might get lucky though and it could just be one of the fuses gone bad.

[@Jaymz87]

I was going to say the ABS module may be stuffed and they are not cheap from BMW like 5g or more..

[@poplaurentiu4148]

Still though that is a 7 series Li (which btw is the longer version of 7 series) also as i have seen it has less issues than the 6 series coupe that Randy was looking to after the 7 series.. So between both i would go for that 7 series +the way the rear occupants seat inside in the back.. is no match for many premium cars.. Go Randy get that 7series Li.. ;0)

[@poplaurentiu4148]

@@omarmoran3097 Look again he sold most cars on his driveway and to be really honest since i started watch him on youtube he did not fix or sold any BMW 7-series-Li edition.. I really think if he get this one he might want to keep it and flip other car instead that how nice it is.. really shame since i'm on the other part of the ocean in Europe i would buy that for myself (to keep in for my family use) i'm no stranger to fixing cars either so yeah now you can laugh as much as you want ok ? be safe buddy.

Volvos can be Very expensive to fix.

[@larsnovas]

Go for the BMW 750. Those light are likely the result of one or two simple issues. Clear the codes, buy one more Pirelli to match, service if needed and it should be a good driver then.

[@lindanelson8400]

I was in love with the Buick until you pointed out the rust on the brake lines. I'd have never even noticed that, and if I had I wouldn't have known that is a danger sign. Then you looked at the rockers, and it was ate up with rust. Goes to show you need to know a lot more than I do if you're interested in a fixer up project. I learn something new with nearly every copart video. Thumbs up.

[@79royalknight43]

He overreacted. That rust is nothing for us in the north. I wouldn’t be worried at all

[@csvt2354]

Saw the EVS sticker on the buick and said NOPE. That's a chain of dealers out in Wisconsin, immediately said going to have too much rust.

[@joshgunn2068]

I noticed that immediately too since I'm from SE wisconsin. For some of the cars up here, that buick is still mint.

[@liamfh4668]

Randy I’ve got a focus st3 mk2 and it the same engine as the Volvo and I can tell you now it a spark plug and coil pack as mine done it about 2 weeks ago and change spark plug and coil pack and it runs like a dream now

[@sebastianlarcherdebrito6048]

Hey Randy, the Audi A4 could be interesting if there is no damage to the engine!!

[@calvinh.8882]

It looks like one that a shop was taring down to repair, and then the owner didn't want to pay the amount they said it would cost to repair it. Seeings they removed everything that needs to be removed in order to take the head off, It could be something as simple as a head gasket replacement. Our shop has gotten to that point on vehicles many times and then had the owners decide not to fix them, and buy a new vehicle instead. Had one guy that had just financed a Jeep from a used car lot, and he took it in a pond and sucked water into the engine and caused damage to the head, and he went and financed another truck the next day and called and told us not to fix it that he was going to let the finance company repo it. Some people do some crazy shit sometimes just to keep from having to pay a couple of thousand dollars in repairs. lol. Some will go $20k or more in debt to keep from paying $1000 repair bill. lol.

[@InfiniteBumblebee337]

BMW seat belt warning? Usually engages after shifting to drive/reverse.

[@consolte57]

Randy, the warning light with the ! is for the transmission.

[@randywolbert5443]

the bmw z4 jerks into gear, I drive with my friend, who a professional car mechanic and his opinion on this - it's a torque convertor. When car stop, converter get 1/2 spin. Effect exactly like many describe - first touts - I get rear ended.

[@fasteddy917]

Thank you. Both to You and to Copart for going out and doing this and for allowing you to do it. Makes the day that much better.

[@richardkafka5625]

Thanks for keeping up the great content during these crazy times! It helps get thru the day. I like the Cadillac and the Volvo for the right price.

[@hghahn301]

The Northstar is not a terrible motor as long as you buy it from 2005 or younger, or you sort out the head bolt design flaw by yourself by using GM's small-block V8 "LS6" head bolts, which are longer than the originals but also crucially have a coarser thread with superior grip. There is a tool kit available that make this work a piece of cake. I like the Northstar. It is GM's most technically complex engine with overhead cam, four valve per cylinder, aluminum block/aluminum head V8 design.

[@tmoz1228]

Randy those volvos are not bad. Our 2010 xc 60 t6 suv has 195000 miles no problems but a fan control module. Probably just a tune up needed. I know our motor is not the same but still.

[@mennoboon8037]

Hey Randy, go back and look at the matte black range rover. Very interested in that one. Its not currently on the copart list even for pictures.

[@mrcross78]

The BMW Z4 is in limp mode. Myself and a family member had the same issue. We replaced our transmissions. We sold both I purchased another Chrysler Crossfire.

[@DGTelevsionNetwork]

Caddy is best bet tbh. Get the fender trim, new motor mounts and see what the check engine light is on and maybe respray it, easy flip.

[@guruoo]

32:00 Check for rusted through brake line on that Buick. Buick was the first car I ever had that problem with. Luckily, it popped and the pedal went to the floor as I was pulling into a parking space, rather than on the highway. It was good to go after I replaced the damaged section fitting to fitting. Also had two windows quit working, both after a small nylon cable retainer broke in the regulator. I replaced regulator in the first, scavenged another nylon retainer from a returned regulator to fix the second.

[@larsnovas]

Big yes to the Volvo. It has the right engine and with the timing belt having been replaced, the misfire could be as simple as a coil replacement.

[@MRSYKES-ep2el]

Always something posotive thanks Randy your light shines bright on a lot of people through these videos.......

[@wernerdanler2742]

I'm not much on Volvos because I had one. A 1998 S90. The drive train was actually very good with a straight 6 but the rest was crap. That one looked good and would make someone a good commuter car. Definitely go for it.

[@chrismccarthy284]

Randy! That circle light on the Z4 dash is a Transmission Malfunction light!

[@FadedSparkx86]

That gear light on the Z4 is indeed a trans fault light. But with the other general lack of maintenance on that thing, could just need a good flush, since it did GO in to gear, and seemed fine after.

[@aidan3178]

Those diesels sucked. They were gas engine blocks with diesel heads. They did not last long and most people swapped them for gas motors when they gave out. Not one of GMs better ideas. They did get good mileage while they lasted though.

[@montyholland3357]

@@wernerdanler2742 they were great if driven right. But people tried to drive them like a gasoline engine. Which kills them then as now.

Maan I'm learning so much about workin on cars and what to look for by watching your videos. Thanks randy :D Subscriber for life

[@adrianroncea2542]

In a static sense, the fundamental difference between a liquid and a solid is that the solid has elastic resistance against a shearing stress while a liquid does not. Thus, a simple liquid will not typically support a transverse acoustic phonon, or shear wave. Gels have been described by Born as liquids in which an elastic resistance against shearing survives, yielding both viscous and elastic properties. It has been shown theoretically that in a certain low-frequency range, polymeric gels should propagate shear waves with relatively low damping. The distinction between a sol (solution) and a gel therefore appears to be understood in a manner analogous to the practical distinction between the elastic and plastic deformation ranges of a metal. The distinction lies in the ability to respond to an applied shear force via macroscopic viscous flow.[1][2][3]

[@kizer-no2kg]

[@troygatzka6865]

Hi Randy Thanks for getting out there doing your Vids! MIss them, BMW Z4 The gear means trans fault, correct but i had one great car until i got T-Boned But the Jerking is Drive Shaft Coupler rear end of the Trans and most likely trans mounts broken >Very Cheap Buy Mounts Takes 30 min replace both. Buy Z4 Best our of all of them.

[@m4ti5]

People are so afraid of the BMW 7 series electronics, but in you look into it its not that bad of deal at all, i have owned a 730d e65 and a 745d e65 and they are one of the best cruising/luxury cars out, both cars have writen off by some spoiled teenager driving their daddys volvo for the first time, and now that i am driving a bmw f01, i can say that the e65 had far more room and was more comfortable. I mean think of it- this car a really nice and working night vision system, and that was back in the 2003. The best thing of the e65/e66 was how quiet it was, especially when equiped with double glazed glass.

[@montyholland3357]

The Volvo is another keeper.

[@videoboer]

You know what I love about you? Im sitting here in South Africa watching, then I go to Copart and can find the Cadillac and look at it. Maybe nothing special for you guys, but awesome if you dont have it...

[@markojankovic1043]

It will never shift into P. The mechatronic is gone on that Bimmer. It costs anywhere from $500-$1000 if you do it your self which is not a big of a deal. Bad coil as well. Overall a good looking car.

[@stackm3]

I think you should go for that BMW 745i and your probably right it just needs a tune up

[@liamcole6586]

The BMW 7 series is just a sensor that is producing the christmas tree. We have the exact year and everything and if the lights are yellow it's nothing to worry about but when they are red and blinking it's bad. we haven't bothered replacing the sensor and it's been about 3 years since we bought the car with all the lights on.

[@justinhobart8747]

Hell Randy buy them all except for the last 3... realistically though that older Buick was not in that bad of shape even for the rust and new brakes lines are very easy to do.

[@thevacdude]

Love the Z4, always have liked those. Probably in a limp mode, like you said, since it jerks going into gear. Wouldn't touch that Century, since it's rusty, and could endanger someone.

[@brader2k6]

If you have your crown Vic key you can use yours it’s the same key for all the police interceptors

[@glennstiller7616]

Gear with exclamation point is a transmission error light. Like CEL but specifically for the trans.

[@payus2]

Regarding the 750Li errors - most likely faulty DSC unit - I had exactly the same on my 06. I paid about 250 USD (here in Europe) for a complete DSC rebuild. No issues since...

[@alphakennybuddy7346]

I’m pretty sure if you fix the parking break fault on the 750 li all the lights would go off. Maybe would have to change spartan plugs

[@PeezyReid]

can you please take a look at that matte black range rover that was next to the audi

[@juanpierrebrown8193]

The BMW 750Li is most likely a low voltage issue (old battery) or the ABS control module is bad, common problems on the E65/E66 BMWs... Both of these cause the dash to light up like that... The misfire at low rpm only is normally an O2 sensor... Will only do it until at operating temperature. Amazing cars...

[@TOM-C.]

The Cadillac SRS could make for an awesome vlog, and a departure from your norm. This could work on any car, find the previous owner that lost the car due to a tow bill, repair the car, and surprise the previous owner with his/her newly improved ride. Would be especially good if the owner had been living in the car as their only roof which may be the case in this Cadillac.

If copart allows it, you should purchase and use an OBD2 scanner and use it while you are there! There are some portable ones that either connect to an app on your phone or they have a display. Then you can see the error codes if any show up. Although i doubt copart would like that
